The Reds skipper has been struggling with the problem for over 12 months, but continues to play on.

Henderson, 26, first picked up the issue in 2015, spending three months on the sidelines.

However there is no cure for the condition - plantar fasciitis - which has previously led to consultation between the Reds medical staff and counterparts at both the Royal Ballet and the Boston Red Sox as they seek a solution.

“We know much more about it after last season," said Klopp. "We don't train a lot between games in this period.

“Instead of running one day doing recovery with the other players who played 90 minutes, Hendo will be on the bike. The rest of the sessions he's available

“It's not the moment to feel nothing. He feels it a little bit but he can cope with it.”

So far this season the ex-Sunderland man has made 23 appearances for his club, but recently missed the trip to his former club, the FA Cup clashes with Plymouth and the EFL Cup semi-final first leg with Southampton.

Henderson looked in discomfort during the second half of the weekend defeat to Swansea but is optimistic of featuring against the Saints on Wednesday night, with the Reds managing his training load.

However, the only fix for the problem is for the tissue that connects the heel to the bones in the foot to rupture, potentially leading to surgery and a sustained spell on the sidelines.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher previously suffered with the problem as did ex-Everton midfielder Tim Cahill.
